Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)
Somebody was watching channel 5 last night.
I remember it well. The film doesn't do the book justice.
You've gotta love a Plymouth "Fury". I could prattle on for ages about there not being any red 1958 furys made, all the details that are wrong in both the book and the film but regardless, it's still damn good.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
The road wars cops would make her rip the film off those windows....
Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.
(Christine is the car, Ronold Lebay / Arnond Cunningham were the owners)
If you like horror (or more specifically if you like stephen king) then Christine is superb. You'll find out what happens to people that try to mess with the car if you read the book and it's not pretty!

Sorry, i'll turn my sense of humor up a bit. I have been in a rubbish mood all day because of an influx of stupidity at the office!

The wrong kind of skidmarks
I open the door on my car(passenger door) and the stickers read Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth!
Yes it's a mk1 Neon! and because of it The mechanics and me nick named them Christine.
And yes the Neons have tried to kill me and them!
